加拉帕戈斯群岛（又名科隆群岛）隶属厄瓜多尔，以其保持原始风貌的独特生物物种而闻名于世，素有“生物进化活博物馆”之称，1979年被列入世界遗产名录。 　　群岛总面积7882平方公里，由长达130公里的第一大岛伊莎贝拉岛、四个稍小一点的岛、以及总面积1平方公里多的14个小岛组成，才外还有许多岩礁和小礁。群岛最高处是伊莎贝拉岛上的沃尔夫火山，海拔1707米。 　　加拉帕戈斯群岛是由四五百万年前巨大的海底火山喷发形成的，在一百多万年前浮出海面。直到现在，岛上的火山喷发还时有发生，群岛最西边的伊莎贝拉岛和费尔南迪岛上的火山一直没有消停，最近的两次喷发是在1995年和1998年。这里的火山不高，但面积很大，一座海拔不过千米的火山，直径能达20千米。 　　群岛的位置极其特殊，正处在寒暖洋流交汇处，来自南部的秘鲁寒流和北部的赤道暖流交汇于此。这里的海洋生物丰富异常，喜寒、喜暖动物一应俱全。除此之外，地球上还没有什么地方能让企鹅和热带珊瑚鱼同游一水间。

Filmed in one of the most extreme and hard-to-reach locations in the world, 'Galapagos' explores the unique environments and species of the Galapagos. It will take viewers on a voyage to understand the stunning archipelago which changed the way we see the world and has long-remained a place of true interest with the nation's favourite naturalist.

Liz Bonnin joins a scientific team on an expedition across the Galapagos Islands to carry out important research that will help protect the islands and their inhabitants.

In the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, there is a paradise unlike any other: the Galapagos archipelago. Amongst these fascinating and remote volcanic islands, life has played out over millions of years in relative isolation. The result is a wonderland of nature, with a remarkable collection of plants and charismatic animals that have all adapted to this unique environment. Meet giant half-ton tortoises and marine iguanas that spit sea-salt from their noses. Dance with tropical albatrosses and hunt fishes with the colorful blue-footed boobies. Dive into the ocean with flightless cormorants and swim with tiny penguins thousands of miles away from their natural habitats. Around the archipelago, converging cross-winds and deep, cold, nutrient-rich currents have made possible a unique and bio-diverse marine oasis, which boasts everything from abundant microscopic plankton to Galapagos sharks. This is a story of discovery, of survival against the odds, and of nature's ingenuity, all brought ...

作为达尔文进化论的灵感来源，加拉帕戈斯群岛可以说是一座天然的图书馆。这里就像一个地质学上的传送带，见证了许许多多物种的诞生与灭绝。本节目用开拓性的全新视觉效果，结合令人震撼的摄影技术，探究了加拉帕戈斯群岛上多种多样的物种，揭示了这座群岛不为人知的一面。随着历史变迁，西部的群岛慢慢浮出海平面，开始孕育新生命.

The Genius of Charles Darwin is a three-part television documentary, written and presented by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. 　　In the first episode Richard Dawkins explains the basic mechanisms of natural selection, and tells the story of how Charles Darwin developed his theory. He teaches a year 11 science class about evolution, which many of the students are reluctant to accept. He then takes them to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset to search for fossils, hoping that the students can see some of the evidence for themselves. Dawkins also visits Nairobi, where he interviews a prostitute who seems to have a genetic immunity to HIV, and talks to microbiologist Larry Gelmon. He goes on to predict that genetic immunity is a trait that will become more prevalent in the community over time. 　　In the second episode Richard Dawkins deals with some of the philosophical and social ramifications of the theory of evolution. Dawkins starts out in Kenya, speaking with palaeontologist Richard Leakey. He then visits Christ is the Answer Ministries, Kenya’s largest Pentecostal church, to interview Bishop Bonifes Adoyo. Adoyo has led the movement to press the National Museums of Kenya to sideline its collection of hominid bones pointing to man’s evolution from ape to human. The collection includes the Turkana Boy discovered by Kamoya Kimeu, a member of a team led by Richard Leakey in 1984. 　　Dawkins discusses social Darwinism and eugenics, explaining how these are not versions of natural selection, and that “Darwin has been wrongly tainted”. He then meets with evolutionary psychologist Steven Pinker to discuss how morals can be compatible with natural selection. He goes on to explaining sexual selection, with peafowls as an example. To find out whether sexual selection plays a role for altruism and kindness among humans, he visits women who are looking for sperm donors, as well as a sperm bank manager. Dawkins also explains kin selection and selfish genes. 　　In the third and final episode, Dawkins explains why Darwin’s theory is one of history’s most controversial ideas. Dawkins uses this episode to discuss the opposition that evolution has experienced since it was first discovered. He starts by approaching various anti-evolutionists, ranging from John Mackay from Creation Research, Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America, to English school teacher Nick Cowen. In order to address concerns they bring up, he shows the evidence for evolution, including fossil and DNA evidence. He also talks to the science students of the school he taught in during the first episode, asking them why they aren’t adequately teaching the ideas of science properly, instead allowing their students to believe that truth is personal and that science is merely a point of view. 　　Dawkins also describes Darwin’s personal journey from Christianity to atheism, based not only on the natural mechanisms he saw, but also on the cruelty in the world which seemed to deny a loving God, in particular the loss of his daughter Annie. While Dawkins does address the bleakness of the Darwinian view, he spends the last part of this episode describing how Darwin and he himself address it, ending by saying: “In the perspective of the universe, the vastness of the universe and of geological time, we are insignificant. Some people find the thought disturbing, even frightening. Like Darwin, I find the reality thrilling.”

为了纪念达尔文诞生200周年，BBC做了一个系列的纪录片，以便来赞扬达尔文对人类进化做出的巨大贡献，有些人相信达尔文的进化伦削弱了宗教信仰。 　　众所周知，达尔文的一本《物种起源》可以说从根本上否定了上帝造物说，从而也就是在笃信基督教的西方世界掀起了轩然大波...然而，达尔文本人却又是一个虔诚的基督徒...他的理论跟他的信仰到底有没有冲突呢？达尔文到底是从根本上杀掉了神，还是从个另一个角度论证了神的存在？孰是孰非，见仁见智，我们一起跟随片中的主持人，共同关注这个纠结的话题~
